Chapter 60: Excalibur Durandal

After traveling into this world for more than half a year, Roland knows a little bit about the history of Vares. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The world of Varess is like the earth, divided into several continental plates, separated by oceans from each other, each continental plate has a relatively independent civilization system, regardless of the newly discovered continents in recent years, he is most familiar with the continent he lives in - Atlas.

The overlord of the current Atlas continent is undoubtedly the Holy Assanian Empire, but thousands of years ago, when the Holy Assanian Empire was not founded, the masters of this continent and even the entire Varess world were a group of ancient arcanists with high magical powers.

Arcanists disdain to be confined to the earth, and use the power of magic crystals to develop many floating towers and floating cities, forming a huge aerial city cluster, known as the "Arcane Empire".

At the height of the Arcane Empire, the sky was densely covered with floating cities, which once blocked out the sun, causing the surface climate to become colder, the crops to be drastically reduced, and the people to live in hardship.

The Grand Arcanists didn't care about this at all, they had inflated their egos to the point of contempt for the gods, and how could they care about ordinary people as weak as ants.

The arrogance of the Grand Arcanists has finally been punished, and the Floating City has not only harmed the inhabitants of the surface by blocking the light, but also deeply angered the sun god Pero, so he has sent down an apocalypse to call on the faithful to rise up and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Arcane Empire.

As stated in the system appraisal report, the war between the followers of the Holy Light and the Arcanist was long and tragic, and if it weren't for the chance of the five heroes who coincidentally obtained the artifact, most of the Atlas Continent today would still be under the control of the Arcane Empire.

Of course, Roland would not be naïve enough to imagine that the Zodiac Sacred Stone in his hand was one of the six major artifacts of the Holy Light Church, because it was already the master, and it was not his turn to pick it up.

The artifact corresponding to the holy stone of the Aries Palace is the "Holy Lance" Longinus, just listening to the name of this artifact, Roland feels a strong breath of ancient gods, and at present, this holy spear is in the hands of the Zion family, and it is the heirloom of the Marquis of Canaan, and Canaan has been known as the "Land of the Holy Spear" since ancient times.

The artifact corresponding to the Virgo Stone is a "Holy Grail" called "Glaral", which is currently owned by the Parino family of the Principality of Pauswart, which is rightly known as the "Land of the Holy Grail".

The artifact corresponding to the Libra Sacred Stone is the "Holy Crown" Thorns, also known as the "Crown of Thorns", which has been kept by the Asbel family of the "Land of the Holy Crown" Feizhen Marquis Kingdom.

The artifact corresponding to the Pisces Sacred Stone, the "Holy Scepter" Cachusas, is currently in the hands of the Rex family, the rulers of the Marquis of Aquamarine, also known as the "Land of the Holy Staff".

As for the other two artifacts, namely the Excalibur Sword "Balmunk" corresponding to the Capricorn Sacred Stone, and the Gemini Holy Stone Holy Light Orb "Eris", they are all in the hands of the Hansberg family, the royal family of the Holy Assanian Empire.

The ownership of the above six artifacts not only reflects the inheritance of the five heroes who overthrew the rule of the Arcane Empire, but also establishes the power structure of the current Atlas continent.

With an artifact in his hand, the first prince and the third marquis don't have to whisper in front of His Majesty the Emperor, on the contrary, it is precisely because the emperor holds two artifacts in his hand that he can sit on the throne.

Of course, the times have been advancing, and now only two artifacts are no longer enough to maintain the rule of the empire, and the first prince and three marquis have no less small calculations in private, and the Kolas army can grow rapidly in the Far East, and the root cause is also due to the open and secret struggle between the princes and emperors.

"I don't know which zodiac constellation this holy stone in my hand corresponds to, and what kind of artifact I have collected."

This thought was born, and the second appraisal report appeared in front of his eyes.

――Found the "Ophiuchus Sacred Stone", did you open it?

"It's Ophiuchus ......," Roland was surprised.

There are only twelve zodiac constellations recognized in the world of Vares, starting with Aries and ending with Pisces, and this does not include Ophiuchus. However, as a traveler from the earth, Roland has been influenced by ACG culture for a long time, and of course knows that the zodiac sign is called the 12th house, which is actually the 13th house, and the sign that is in the zodiac position but not among the 12 houses is Ophiuchus.

"There is the truth of the zodiac but not the name of the zodiac, this snake husband palace holy stone is quite commensurate with my identity as a traverser."

Roland issued an order to the system: "Open the Sacred Stone of the Ophiman's Palace!" ”

――System Prompt: You have unlocked the first seal of the Holy Stone of the Ophiuchus Palace, and obtained the bonus attribute: +2 Innate Armor!

A layer of delicate chitin like snake scales adhered to the surface of Roland's body, and immediately penetrated into the depths of the texture, like water droplets merging into the sea, disappearing without a trace, and only Roland himself could perceive that his skin had become much tougher.

"If it's an ordinary magic item, +2 Innate Armor is certainly powerful, but the power of an artifact shouldn't be anything else......"

Just when he was wondering, Roland received a wonderful system prompt again: There is a broken divine sword named "Durandal" stored in the Holy Stone of the Ophiuman Palace, do you want to take it out?

Broken Excalibur Durandal? Roland suddenly jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Take it out!" ”

The Holy Stone of the Ophiman's Palace emitted a dazzling light, and a simple sheathed heavy sword appeared on the table.

Roland rubbed his hands excitedly, grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted it up, feeling slightly heavier than the "Great Defender" he was used to, the hilt of the sword was wrapped in layers of fine leather, and it felt solid and heavy. The wide gauntlets are stretched out to the sides, forming a large cross shape with the hilt of the sword, simple but domineering, which suits Roland's appetite very much.

He grabbed the hilt of his sword and jerked it hard, and with a thud, the sword came out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword fused with pure gold emitted a faint silver glow, and at the same time, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

- Equip the Broken Excalibur Durandal, and require the wielder to belong to the Orderly and Good Faction!

Well? Roland suddenly felt his palms burn, and Durandal seemed to reject his grasp.

"Do you want to let go?" A thought crossed his mind.

People who do not conform to the limited camp forcibly hold the artifact, Roland knows very well what the consequences will be, lowering a few career levels is the lightest, and if he is unlucky, he will be cursed to death!

When he hesitated, the system prompt sounded again.

- Detect the "special faction" of the voter ability, you can equip Durandal.

The heavy sword in his hand then stopped struggling and regained its composure.

Roland wiped a cold sweat and secretly thanked the goddess of fate, if it weren't for the voter template, he would probably have fallen into the evil camp now, and it would be impossible for him to have this sword.

Looking down at Durandal again, Roland secretly wondered, in his opinion, this sword was perfect and flawless, why did the appraisal report say that it was "broken"?

Thinking wildly, Roland opened the "Pupil of Destiny" again to check Durandal's data, and the result quickly fell into his eyes.

―Broken Excalibur "Durandal"―

Overview: This artifact has been battered in the Ancient Divine War, and currently only a small part of its power remains, degenerating into a +2 Divine Essence Gold Heavy Sword, and if enough materials can be collected, this sword can be repaired and restored to the power of the Excalibur of yesteryear.

Faction: Orderly and kind

Owner: Roland Kolas

Hit: +2

Damage: 1d10+2, +2d6 (against evil creatures)

Special Enchantment "Holy": The Hallowed weapon is a good faction weapon that can deal an additional 2d6 (2-12) damage against evil or undead creatures.

+2 Holy Essence Heavy Sword...... In Roland's opinion, just Durandal's attributes in his "broken" state are already very strong, if they can be repaired, how powerful will they be?

With this in mind, he asked the system, "What materials do you need to fix Durandal?" ”

The system quickly gave an answer, and Roland took a look, tears almost streaming down his face.

-- System prompt: Durandal's restoration process is divided into four steps.

Step 1: Hunt a legendary creature and merge its soul into Durandal.

Step 2: Same as above.

Step 3: Same as above.

Step 4: Obtain the legendary item "Angel's Horn" to resonate with Durandal.

Looking at the task requirements of repairing Excalibur, Roland frowned.

Hunting three legendary creatures to take their souls and merge them into the sword, of course, is not easy, but he has a clear goal, and the difficulty is only how to kill the legendary creatures, which is a technical problem.

But what is that "angel horn"? I've never heard of it, I don't give any hints, and I don't know where to look.

"Forget it, don't think so far, even if you can't get the horn of the angel, the souls of three legendary creatures are enough to repair Durandal to seven pieces, even if you can't restore the power of the divine sword, at least it's worth a secondary artifact, so what's the dissatisfaction? You can't be too greedy. ”

Thinking like this, Roland's mind gradually calmed down, but the thought of hunting legendary creatures gave him another headache.

What is a legendary creature?

To put it simply, those with a class level of more than 20 are legendary creatures, such as the "Godfather" Mars Bloodscale Rage of "Dragon's Eye", such as the Pope "Black Robe" Otlo of the Order of Naro, and the strength of these legendary characters is simply immeasurable.

If you compare it with people he is familiar with, Rudolph's total professional level is 18, and Bratu is a level 17 spellcaster, none of them have yet entered the legendary realm, and their strength has already made Roland look up to the mountains, not to mention that after entering the legendary realm, they can learn legendary skills, legendary expertise, and create legendary spells, and their strength is much higher than that of quasi-legendary figures like Rudolph and Bratu.

With Roland's current strength, not to mention hunting three legendary creatures, dealing with one is to hit a stone with an egg, and if he wants to repair the Excalibur Durandal, it is really a long way to go, and three points depend on strength and seven points depend on luck.

Fortunately, Roland is a man with a system after all, and he believes that with his own growth speed, he will surely enter the legendary realm in time, as for luck...... As a voter of the goddess of fate, does he need to worry about this problem?

Roland put aside his distracting thoughts, took "Durandal" back to the holy stone, and calmed down to check his current Qi Luck reserves.

After absorbing Durandal's first seal, his qi luck soared to as much as 39 degrees, this is the essence of the artifact!

Roland couldn't help but wonder: "I have obtained so much luck by unlocking a double seal, if I can repair Durandal perfectly, how much luck can I get?" ”

He couldn't make a precise prediction, but he was sure it would be a number that would surprise him.

Some people like the so-called "accumulation and accumulation", and Roland actually wants to do that, but unfortunately the environment is too bad, and there is no capital to accumulate and farm steadily. Thinking that he would go to the Lucia Mountains for adventure in two days, with his current strength, it was difficult to guarantee a safe journey.

In this world where monsters are rampant, only the power he really has in his hands can give him a sense of security, to put it pessimistically, if he dies on the road to adventure, what is the use of those luck that he has worked so hard to accumulate?

Thinking like this, Roland did not hesitate to choose to consume luck and improve two charm attributes first!

Charisma is related to immunity bonuses, defense levels, holy healing and dispel effects, and even the hit rate of "Breaking the Enemy", which is Roland's most important class attribute.

Two points of charm cost him 32 degrees of luck, and the luck pool bottomed out in an instant, and the most intuitive benefit of this extravagant investment to Roland was...... The guy looks more handsome, and his temperament is becoming more and more chic and charming.

There are 7 degrees of luck left, Roland didn't use it, and there will always be eyeless monsters on the way to adventure in the future, and the total amount of luck can be increased to 8 degrees by cutting down two nests of goblins, and the next step is to consume these 8 degrees of luck to raise the career level to level 5.

(With Roland, of course, there's Durandal, and the protagonist finally encounters the weapon he was destined for, and the adventure story will officially begin, so I'm a little excited to think about it!) Every Monday as usual to ask for tickets for collection, well, this chapter is 3500 words, and I suddenly feel that my character is ^_^ strong)
